Description
A new chapter in Indigenous cuisine has arrived in Minneapolis. Today, we talk with James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Sherman about Indígena by Owamni, his just-opened restaurant at the Guthrie Theater and what it means to put Indigenous ingredients and culture at the center of a menu. Then, Sahan Journal reporter Joey Peters breaks down how contracts for deed are being used to exploit Somali homebuyers in Minnesota, and what a recent court verdict means for accountability. Finally, Tane Danger reflects on moderating an onstage conversation between Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and City Council President Elliott Payne at the Granada Theater.
